Selected Works: Fragmentary Memories
, a truly special project from Japan's
Yamoaka
. Yamoaka was originally formed by renowned Japanese duo
Kenichi Oka
and
Yoshinori Yamazaki
; after 2007 the project was continued solo by Oka. Drawing inspiration from the likes of
Kraftwerk
and
Y.M.O.
, Oka masterfully uses hardware to create unique loop based sounds drawing resemblances to minimalist
Steve Reich
's signature sound, while blending in techno-esque elements comparable to those of
Terrence Dixon
's
Population One
alias, finding a harmonious middle ground between the two. Oka achieves a live feel to all his work, recording his tracks in real time without the use of DAW's or computers, instead utilizing his Roland MC50 sequencer with perfect effect. As long-time fans of Kenichi's work, Indigo Aera bosses
Jasper
and
Maarten
approached him to release a retrospective selection of his works for the first time on vinyl. The result is a collection of hand-picked tracks previously released on CD-only plus four completely new and unheard pieces. Edition of 298.
